Betrayal: Star Wars Legends (Legacy of the Force) (Star Wars: Legacy of the Force Book 1)

Luke Skywalker has unified the Jedi Order into a cohesive group of powerful Knights, but his leadership faces new challenges as planetary interests threaten peace and he experiences visions of approaching darkness. When a mission to uncover an illegal missile factory on Adumar ends in violent ambush, with Jedi Knight Jacen Solo and his cousin Ben Skywalker barely escaping, it signals rising political unrest. Multiple worlds are resisting the Galactic Alliance's strict regulations, and diplomatic efforts are failing. Fearing rebellion, the Alliance plans a military display targeting Corellia, Han Solo's homeworld, known for its independence. Jacen, bound by duty to the Jedi, must stand with Luke and the Alliance, but when Corellians counterattack and the Alliance launches a secret mission against Centerpoint Station, armed conflict erupts. Battle lines form between defiant planets and the Galactic Alliance, with both sides seeking diplomacy even as treachery and sabotage undermine peace efforts. Jacen pursues cryptic clues toward shocking revelations, while Luke confronts troubling visions of a shadowy figure whose Force power and ruthlessness echo Darth Vader—a lethal enemy threatening the Jedi and the galaxy. The book includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe and excerpts from popular Star Wars novels.
